During the 4th nine weeks, the students will focus on the Caldecott Medal. We will discuss the details of the actual award, view previous winners, and have the Ultimate Caldecott Award voting (they will view the Caldecott winners over the past 22 years and vote on which one they believe is the best illustrated book).

April -May: First graders can check out two books from anywhere, but may only have one activity book at a time.
August-March: First graders will be able to check out books from our Picture Book (fiction) and Non-Fiction sections. During the month of October we will be doing a lesson on finding "Just Right" books. At this time, students will be able to go to the Fiction section to see if they can find a book that is appropriate for them, around their level. There are plenty of chapter books and advanced level picture books in the Picture Book section. So, your child will have quite the variety.
